Gigantopithecus & Other Huge (Data) Apes

… or at least a life-like, artist rendering of the now 100,000 year extinct* giant ape. Based on the few fossils that have been unearthed, our best guess is that Gigantopithecus stood at about 10 feet tall and weighed in at 1200 lbs. Fossils come few and far between and much about this creature remains unknown due to lack of complete data.
